The problem is that when a use a 'table' in the xsl

Yes, this is true for tables.
In my script i have two columns.
I want that :
when the text of the second column is empty ,
the text of the first column takes all the line of the
document
Unfortunately I did not get your example cleanly, but you should be able to
add something along the lines of:
<table-cell>
<xsl:if test="not(string(second-column))"
<xsl:attribute name="number-columns-spanned">2</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<block>
...column contents...
</table-cell>
<xsl:if test="string(second-column)">
<table-cell>
<block>
...column contents...
</table-cell>
</xsl:if>
With the above technique you are conditionally adding the
number-columns-spanned="2" attribute to the first table cell if the second
table cell is empty. Be sure, though, to test for the creation of the
second table cell or you will end up specifying three columns.
I hope this helps.
